1276 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 5 / Tuesday, January 8, 2008 / Rules and Regulations 

Taking of Private Property 

This rule will not affect a taking of 

private property or otherwise have 

taking implications under Executive 

Order 12630, Governmental Actions and 

Interference with Constitutionally 

Protected Property Rights. 

Civil Justice Reform 

This rule meets applicable standards 

in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive 

Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to 

minimize litigation, eliminate 

ambiguity, and reduce burden. 

Protection of Children 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Executive Order 13045, Protection of 

Children from Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks. This rule is not 

an economically significant rule and 

will not concern an environmental risk 

to health or risk to safety that may 

disproportionately affect children. 

Indian Tribal Governments 

This rule does not have tribal 

implications under Executive Order 

13175, Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments, 

because it will not have a substantial 

direct effect on one or more Indian 

tribes, on the relationship between the 

Federal Government and Indian tribes, 

or on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities between the Federal 

Government and Indian tribes. 

Energy Effects 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Executive Order 13211, Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use. We have 

determined that it is not a ‘‘significant 

energy action’’ under that order because 

it is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’

under Executive Order 12866 and is not 

likely to have a significant adverse effect 

on the supply, distribution, or use of 

energy. The Administrator of the Office 

of Information and Regulatory Affairs 

has not designated it as a significant 

energy action. Therefore, it does not 

require a Statement of Energy Effects 

under Executive Order 13211. 

Technical Standards 

The National Technology Transfer 

and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15 

U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use 

voluntary consensus standards in their 

regulatory activities unless the agency 

provides Congress, through the Office of 

Management and Budget, with an 

explanation of why using these 

standards would be inconsistent with 

applicable law or otherwise impractical. 

Voluntary consensus standards are 

technical standards (e.g., specifications 

of materials, performance, design, or 

operation; test methods; sampling 

procedures; and related management 

systems practices) that are developed or 

adopted by voluntary consensus 

standards bodies. 

This rule does not use technical 

standards. Therefore, we did not 

consider the use of voluntary consensus 

standards. 

Environment 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Commandant Instruction M16475.1D 

and Department of Homeland Security 

Management Directive 5100.1, which 

guide the Coast Guard in complying 

with the National Environmental Policy 

Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–

4370f), and have concluded that there 

are no factors in this case that would 

limit the use of the categorical exclusion 

under section 2.B.2 of the Instruction. 

Therefore, this rule is categorically 

excluded, under figure 2–1, paragraph 

(34)(g), of the Instruction, from further 

environmental documentation as the 

rule establishes a safety zone. 

A final ‘‘Environmental Analysis 

Check List’’ and a final ‘‘Categorical 

Exclusion Determination’’ will be 

available in the docket where indicated 

under ADDRESSES.

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 5 / Tuesday, January 8, 2008 / Rules and Regulations 1277 

ACTION: Temporary final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is 

temporarily revising the security zones 

in the Port of Tampa, East Bay, 

Rattlesnake, Sunshine Skyway Bridge 

and Big Bend for the purpose of 

providing counter-surveillance, 

intrusion detection and response 

measures. Entry into these zones will be 

prohibited unless authorized by the 

Captain of the Port St. Petersburg or a 

designated representative. 

DATES: This rule is effective from 

January 2, 2008, until February 7, 2008. 

ADDRESSES: Documents indicated in this 

preamble as being available in the 

docket are part of docket [USCG–2007–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulatory Information 

We did not publish a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for this 

regulation. Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the 

Coast Guard finds that good cause exists 

for not publishing an NPRM. Publishing 

an NPRM and delaying its effective date 

would be contrary to the public interest 

since immediate action is necessary to 

continue security zones where the 

[COTP Sector St. Petersburg, FL. 07–

047] temporary final rule established 

them to ensure the security of vessels, 

facilities, and the surrounding areas 

within the Captain of the Port Sector St. 

Petersburg Zone. The Coast Guard is 

making these changes permanent 

through the implementation of a final 

rule published elsewhere in today’s 

Federal Register. The Coast Guard 

published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking in the Federal Register on 

November 6, 2007 (72 FR 62609), in that 

separate rulemaking for the final rule. 

Temporary Final Rule [COTP Sector St. 

Petersburg, FL. 07–047] will expire just 

before the final rule comes into effect on 

February 7, 2008. The purpose of this 

temporary final rule is to maintain the 

security zones between the time the 

[COTP Sector St. Petersburg, FL. 07–

047] expires and the implementation of 

the final rule [USCG–2007–0062]. 

For the same reasons, under 5 U.S.C. 

553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that 

good cause exists for making this rule 

effective less than 30 days after 

publication in the Federal Register. 

Background and Purpose 

This temporary final rule adopts the 

currently established revisions to the 

Tampa Bay security zones as published 

under [COTP Sector St. Petersburg, FL. 

07–047] and as proposed the NPRM 

published on November 6, 2007. The 

temporary final rule [COTP Sector St. 

Petersburg, FL. 07–047] lasts only 

through January 1, 2008, at which time 

the final rule [USCG–2007–0062] 

published elsewhere in today’s Federal 

Register will not yet be effective. As 

referenced in the temporary final rule 

[COTP Sector St. Petersburg, FL. 07–

047], the Maritime Transportation 

Security Act mandated Area Maritime 

Security Committee convened a working 

group to validate the existing security 

zones within Tampa Bay that were 

established following the terrorist 

attacks of September 11, 2001. These 

existing security zones included some 

established September 3, 2003, codified 

in 33 CFR 165.760, and some 

established September 1, 2003, codified 

in § 165.764 (68 FR 47852, August 12, 

2003). 

Using the newly developed Maritime 

Security Risk Analysis Model tool, the 

working group evaluated risk to the 

maritime transportation system (MTS) 

within Tampa Bay. The results of the 

risk assessment indicated the need to 

revise the following established security 

zones for the purpose of implementing 

counter-surveillance; and, intrusion 

detection and response measures: 

• § 165.760(a)(1), Rattlesnake, Tampa, 

FL; 

• § 165.760(a)(3), Sunshine Skyway 

Bridge, Tampa, FL; 

• § 165.760(a)(5), Piers, Seawalls, and 

Facilities, Port of Tampa, Port Sutton 

and East Bay; 

• § 165.760(a)(6), Piers, Seawalls, and 

Facilities, Port of Tampa, East Bay and 

the eastern side of Hooker’s Point; 

• § 165.760(a)(7), Piers, Seawalls, and 

Facilities, Port of Tampa, on the western 

side of Hooker’s Point; and 

• § 165.760(a)(8), Piers, Seawalls, and 

Facilities, Port of Manatee. 

• § 165.764(a)(1), Big Bend, Tampa 

Bay, Florida zone. The Security Zones 

revised includes 3 zones within the Port 

of Tampa (Port Sutton and East Bay; 

East Bay and the eastern side of 

Hooker’s Point; and the western side of 

Hooker’s Point), Sunshine Skyway 

Bridge, Rattlesnake and Big Bend and 

Port of Manatee. At the Port of Tampa, 

a minor adjustment to the Security Zone 

boundary was implemented for 

alignment with protected assets. The 

East Bay segment of the Security Zone 

was discontinued. The Security Zone 

beneath the Sunshine Skyway Bridge 

was reduced to the size of the navigable 

channel. The Rattlesnake area Security 

Zone was expanded shoreward to 

protect critical facilities. The Big Bend 

Security Zone was slightly modified to 

align with the natural barriers around 

the facility. 

Discussion of Rule 

This temporary rule extends the 

regulation established by temporary 

final rule [COTP Sector St. Petersburg, 

FL. 07–047]. The following security 

zones will temporarily suspend 

paragraphs in §§ 165.760 and 165.764 

that are being replaced by these new 

security zones or that are no longer 

needed. The coordinates are based on 

North American Datum (NAD) 1983. 

• Rattlesnake, Tampa, FL. All water 

from surface to bottom, in Old Tampa 

Bay east and south of a line 

commencing at position 27°53.32′ N, 

082°32.05′ W; north to 27°53.36′ N, 

082°32.05′ W, including the fenced area

This is specific to the bridge structure 

and dolphins and does not include 

waters adjacent to the bridge columns or 

dolphins outside of the bridge’s main 

span.

W, then southwesterly and terminating 

at 27°56.53′ N, 082°26.90′ W. 

• Big Bend Power Plant, FL. All 

waters of Tampa Bay, from surface to 

bottom, adjacent to the Big Bend Power 

Facility, and within an area bounded by 

a line connecting the following points: 

27°48.08 N, 082°24.88 W then northwest 

to 27°48.15 N, 082°24.96 W then 

southwest to 27°48.10 N, 082°25.00 W 

then south-southwest to 27°47.85N,

082°24.70 W then northwest to 27°48.08 

N, 082°24.88 W, closing off entrance to 

Big Bend Power Facility and the 

attached cooling canal. 

Entry into or remaining on or within 

these zones is prohibited unless 

authorized by the Captain of the Port 

Sector St. Petersburg or a designated 

representative. Persons desiring to 

transit the area of the security zone may 

contact the Captain of the Port Sector St. 

Petersburg or a designated 

representative on VHF channel 16, or by 

phone at (727) 824–7506, to seek 

permission to transit the area. If 

permission is granted, all persons and 

vessels must comply with the 

instructions of the Captain of the Port or 

his designated representative. 

Regulatory Evaluation 

This rule is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review, and does not 

require an assessment of potential costs 

and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that 

Order. The Office of Management and 

Budget has not reviewed it under that 

Order. 

We expect the economic impact of 

this rule to be so minimal that a full 

Regulatory Evaluation is unnecessary. 

This rule may have some impact on the 

public, but these potential impacts will 

be minimized for the following reasons: 

there is ample room for vessels to 

navigate around security zones, and 

there are several locations for 

recreational and commercial fishing 

vessels to fish throughout the Tampa 

Bay Region. Also, the Captain of the 

Port St. Petersburg may, on a case-bycase basis allow persons or vessels to 

enter a security zone. 

Small Entities 

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

(5 U.S.C. 601–612), we have considered 

whether this rule would have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

The term ‘‘small entities’’ comprises 

small businesses, not-for-profit 

organizations that are independently 

owned and operated and are not 

dominant in their fields, and 

governmental jurisdictions with 

populations of less than 50,000. 

The Coast Guard certifies under 5 

U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have 

a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

This rule may impact the following 

entities, some of which may be small 

entities: the owners or operators of 

vessels who wish to transit in the areas 

where the security zones are enforced. 

This rule will not have a significant 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities because the majority of the 

zones are limited in size, leaving ample 

room for vessels to navigate around the 

zones. The zones will not significantly 

impact commuter and passenger vessel 

traffic patterns, and mariners will be 

notified of the zones via local notice to 

mariners and marine broadcasts. Also, 

the Captain of the Port may, on a caseby-case basis allow persons or vessels to 

enter a security zone. 

Assistance for Small Entities 

Under section 213(a) of the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–

121), we want to assist small entities in 

understanding this proposed rule so that 

they can better evaluate its effects on 

them and participate in the rulemaking. 

If the rule would affect your small 

business, organization, or governmental 

jurisdiction and you have questions 

concerning its provisions or options for 

compliance, please contact the office 

listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT, for assistance in 

understanding this rule. The Coast 

Guard will not retaliate against small 

entities that question or complain about 

this rule or any policy or action of the 

Coast Guard. 

Collection of Information 

This rule calls for no new collection 

of information under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–

3520). 

Federalism 

A rule has implications for federalism 

under Executive Order 13132, 

Federalism, if it has a substantial direct 

effect on State or local governments and 

would either preempt State law or 

impose a substantial direct cost of 

compliance on them. We have analyzed 

this rule under that Order and have 

determined that it does not have 

implications for federalism. 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires 

Federal agencies to assess the effects of 

their discretionary regulatory actions. In 

particular, the Act addresses actions 

that may result in the expenditure by a 

State, local, or tribal government, in the 

aggregate, or by the private sector of 

$100,000,000 or more in any one year. 

Though this rule will not result in such 

an expenditure, we do discuss the 

effects of this rule elsewhere in this 

preamble. 

Taking of Private Property 

This rule will not effect a taking of 

private property or otherwise have 

taking implications under Executive 

Order 12630, Governmental Actions and 

Interference with Constitutionally 

Protected Property Rights. 

Civil Justice Reform 

This rule meets applicable standards 

in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive 

Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to 

minimize litigation, eliminate 

ambiguity, and reduce burden. 

Protection of Children 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Executive Order 13045, Protection of 

Children from Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks. This rule is not 

an economically significant rule and 

does not create an environmental risk to 

health or risk to safety that may 

disproportionately affect children. 

Indian Tribal Governments 

This rule does not have tribal 

implications under Executive Order 

13175, Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments, 

because it does not have a substantial 

direct effect on one or more Indian 

tribes, on the relationship between the 

Federal Government and Indian tribes, 

or on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities between the Federal 

Government and Indian tribes. 

Energy Effects 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Executive Order 13211, Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use. We have 

determined that it is not a ‘‘significant 

energy action’’ under that order because 

it is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’

under Executive Order 12866 and is not 


rmajette on PROD1PC64 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 5 / Tuesday, January 8, 2008 / Rules and Regulations 1279 

likely to have a significant adverse effect 

on the supply, distribution, or use of 

energy. The Administrator of the Office 

of Information and Regulatory Affairs 

has not designated it as a significant 

energy action. Therefore, it does not 

require a Statement of Energy Effects 

under Executive Order 13211. 

Technical Standards 

The National Technology Transfer 

and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15 

U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use 

voluntary consensus standards in their 

regulatory activities unless the agency 

provides Congress, through the Office of 

Management and Budget, with an 

explanation of why using these 

standards would be inconsistent with 

applicable law or otherwise impractical. 

Voluntary consensus standards are 

technical standards (e.g., specifications 

of materials, performance, design, or 

operation; test methods; sampling 

procedures; and related management 

systems practices) that are developed or 

adopted by voluntary consensus 

standards bodies. 

This rule does not use technical 

standards. Therefore, we did not 

consider the use of voluntary consensus 

standards. 

Environment 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Commandant Instruction M16475.lD 

which guides the Coast Guard in 

complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and 

have concluded that there are no factors 

in this case that would limit the use of 

a categorical exclusion under section 

2.B.2 of the Instruction. Therefore, this 

rule is categorically excluded, under 

figure 2–1, paragraph (34)(g.), of the 

Instruction, from further environmental 

documentation. An ‘‘Environmental 

Analysis Check List’’ and a ‘‘Categorical 

Exclusion Determination’’ are available 

in the docket where indicated under
